The Carrilet I greenway descends smoothly from Olot (440 m) to Girona (70 m). Its highest point is at Coll d'en Bas, which is a pass situated 589 meters above sea level. The trail, which is suitable for hikers and cyclists alike, is in very good condition, fitted with bridges, railings and signposting.\r\n\r\nMore Information Programa Caminos Naturales\u00a0<\/a><\/em>","descripcio":"The Carrilet I greenway crosses through magnificent scenery of great ecological and cultural value. It begins in the Garrotxa Volcanic Area, and following the old narrow-gauge railway line, reaches the Ter valley and the pasturelands of Salt and Girona. The old rail line that connected the Garrotxa and Giron\u00e8s regions now allows visitors to discover the natural resources of the Garrotxa Volcanic Area, the Hostoles castle, and the towns of Angl\u00e8s, Sant Feliu de Pallerols and Girona, among others. The last section of the trail runs along the Ter River as it crosses the pasturelands of Salt and Girona. Here is where hikers and cyclists alike can see how the river\u00b4s resources have been harnessed and put to good use.\r\n\r\nOnce in Girona, join the next stretch of the\u00a0Carrilet II greenway towards Sant Feliu de Gu\u00edxols<\/a><\/strong>.

  • Olot (from Fonts de Sant Roc) to Les Preses<\/strong>: 5 km. Easy stretch.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThis can be followed to\u00a0Sant Esteve d\u2019en Bas<\/strong>\u00a0(3 km) if assistance is provided to cross the underpass which has been built to cross the Vall d\u2019en Bas by-pass (not recommended during periods of heavy traffic).\r\n
